I used machines, I've always been upfront about this, so yes, the little nuances will be missed. I'm also not that familiar with references and most have a tendency of going right over my head. So for those of you who are saying that I did a terrible job, you can, respectfully, fuck off. I saw that a book I enjoyed wasn't being translated anymore, so I thought I'd give it a go myself. At first I didn't even post anything, just read them myself, but then I thought I'd share so other fans could read too. If you don't like the job I've done, that's fine, I'm not asking you to, but you don't need to attack me about it. I've gotten lots of comments and emails about how I've done a shit job and honestly, I'm at my wit's end. I understand I dropped off with translating, if the comments and emails were about that, then I'd be understanding, but no one is saying that. I've gotten so much hate for attempting something, it's even something that 1) I'm not used to, 2) very fucking difficult, and 3) is only meant to be a nice service for people. I've let some peeps down with how I dropped off the face of the earth, I understand that, but I had issues come up. I moved, I now have two jobs, and a social life. It's been busy. And I haven't forgotten those that supported me and have sent me encouragement, you guys are like the only reason that I even continued translating for as long as I did and why I haven't blown up more than I have. You've been very kind to me and I thank you for all your kind words, they've meant a lot. TL;DR if you don't like my translations, redo them yourselves instead of telling me I suck. It's rude and unnecessary. ]]>Fri, 07 Jul 2017 03:18:14 GMThttp://comettranslations.weebly.com/home/just-a-questionIs anyone interested in playing dungeon and dragons with a bunch of noobs? We need at least two more people to join up with us. I'd be really thankful if anyone would be willing to shoot me a contact form or leave a comment, that'd be great. If you're interested I'll add some info under the cut, like times and dates and what not.

We'll be playing next week on Friday (July 14, 2017) at about 1pm central time. I say we'll be playing but that's more like when we'll be introducing our characters and getting to know each other and such.Don't be afraid if you've never played before, our dungeon master is the only person that'd played before and even then it's their first time as a dm (It's Bastil, the editor, whom I can't get a hold of for editing but mention something not work related and he'll respond... -_-).So besides being available on Fridays around the afternoon (it's afternoon for me), you'll also need a discord account. It's free if you don't have one, that's just where we'll be chatting and what not since none of us actually live near each other. So yeah, just send me a contact form or add a comment and we'll talk!Also, if the editor sees this, I just want to say I love you very much and it's cool if you don't answer my messages... or edit... (Where's that shrug emoji when you need it? Actually, maybe a whistling face works better here? I don't know, I'm not hip with the lingo and the faces and what not)

::EDIT because I was told off for not mentioning this::We're going for a semi-serious run, meaning we won't be too into it and there might be stupid shenanigans like seducing the enemy or someone donating blood and can't fight because they're now anemic, general mayhem but it'll be to a minimum, we just want to have some laughs.Also, for characters, if you do decide to hmu (I just learned what that meant btw) then you'll need a character with a backstory and moral alignment ready for the first little get together. And a name. lol. But stats and stuff will be decided together so we can have a somewhat balanced team.Also, because I want to share, my character is a bard that can't sing for shiznit and is only capable of playing 3 notes on the french horn, their moral alignment is chaotic neutral, so ya'll know the one seducing the enemy and giving up their blood is gonna be me. I'd also like to reserve the right to romance you at any time.

I’ll just put, like I have been doing, who’s speaking out to the side. Sorry about how slow this has been going, I’ve been busy as well as hesitant to translate as I can’t get a hold of my editor. Hence, this has been very poorly edited by me. Also, have any of you read Tale of a Lax Demon? Binged it. So good. Sent some love to the translator. In withdrawal. I daydream about it, that’s how much it’s become a significant part of me, lol.

Dungeon's Corridor

“ -High undead, summoning!” (Jean)It appeared from the undead summon stone of Jean’s. What came out though? Fog? Vapor? It was something indefinitely whitish.“Cloud?” (Teacher)“This is the secret of dungeon capturing, it’s a custom ghast fly.”//TL: Again, I don’t remember what these things are actually supposed to be and I don’t want to hunt through comments. If that kind soul would comment again, I’ll go about fixing these things.Race name: custom ghastDead Spirit: Demon lv 7Name: FlyHP: 22MP: 401Power: 8Stamina: 13Agility: 36Knowledge: 89Maka: 210Devices: 19Skill: Dissolution: lv 7, Map creation: lv 6, communication: lv 3, shadow classe: lv 7, magical absorption: lv 6, trap detection: lv 3, Evil spirit, physical attack nullificationThis thing seems to specialize exploring.Fran reaches out to touch it, as well as Urushi who imitates Fran by trying to bite it. Even I cannot catch the fume like fly.“Oooh” (Fran)“Wow” (Teacher)Just this is interesting. The white smoke stagers over and over. If we weren’t inside the dungeon, we wouldn’t be able to see it.“Fly can send information from the map creation to me through the mind! Even without doing anything, you can get a map of the dungeon! Kahahaha! I cannot get rid of this shaking by myself!” (TL: I guess he’s excited?) (Jean)Certainly, without Fly, mapping would be crazy.“Go, Fly!” (Jean)By Jean’s order, the fly begins to divide into twenty bodies. One body is weak but it’s not battle power we’re concerned about. Fly starts to move quietly. At first glance it seems like the smoke is following the air current.“After about ten minutes we can get a map of what’s up ahead.”“Leave it to me!” (Fly?)Is it not pampant yet? It’s only a small fish. (TL: I think it’s talking about the amount of ghasts that are running about) Fran is posing with Urushi, having a motivated face.“Last time I didn’t do this to find out about the floors. I just went ahead to scout.” (Jean)“So is this structured floors in your mind?” (Teacher) Certainly you’re not saying there’s no information of this floor at all?“No, I couldn’t break through this area before, so I don’t know the layout ahead, but there’s no problems as we’ve made improvements.” (Jean)“Don’t you understand what’s ahead?” (Teacher)“Well, there’s something that I know of only one. It’s the mimic spirit you’re looking for, but it appears up ahead. They are the one that blocked Fly’s way.” (Jean)“Really? Okay, let’s go!” (Teacher)“Nn.” (Fran)“Ou!” (Urushi)“Before we go, let’s have a drink before the battle” (Jean)“What is this?” (Teacher)“Fuhahaha! It’s a specially made spirit potion. It has the effects of reducing damage from the dead and increasing resistance against special attacks such as spirit control.” (Jean)“Amazingly high-performance! Isn’t it petty valuable.” (Teacher)“It's not a big deal. If it’s on the market, it’s about 200,000 gold.” (Jean)“High!” (Teacher or Fran, I forgot)200,000 gold is the same as the reward for success. Is this okay?“For me, it’s not that much money, don’t mind it! We’ll just take more than that in materials.” (Jean)Truly a B rank adventurer. 200,000 is a lot of money“Let’s get to it” (Fran)“Also, feel free to use stuff I give you. It’s me who will be troubled if you leave.” (Jean)I’m happy with this type of client, because I am a poor man. I hesitate to use items, even with RPGs, leaving things like elixirs and world trees (TL:?? Unfamiliar with RPGs and items in them) until the end. But that’s dangerous. If Fran was in danger, I guess I wouldn’t say such a thing, but that’s how I usually think.“We’re going into a long corridor where it extends to the entrance to the second floor, enemies there use hypnotism attacks.” (Jean)“Well then!” (Teacher)“Oooo… …” (spirit)“Damn! THis one is also different! Well then, you!” (Jean?)“Oo”“This is not it!” (Teacher)“Oooh”“Owio” (spirits)“Ah! This is annoying! Which is the spoofed spirit?” (Teacher)Ghost, Specter, etc. attacks back and for forth, right and left, sometimes coming through walls and floor to attack.But this was the corridor we’ve been looking for. There’s mimic spirits among the attacks. There’s also spoofed spirits which are like subordinates of the mimic spirits.We are constantly activating the fire attribute to maximize damage, they continue to disguise as dead spirits. Our strategy would be impossible without the magic tank called me. Actually, I raised the level of magic absorption.Because the bodies of the spirits in the dead system consists of magical power, they’re weak against absorption.So, because of attacking and magical supply, magic absorption increased to level 3.With this, the remaining points have decreased to one, but it’s a skill that’ll be advantageous in the long run, I think there’s no loss in raising it. (TL: I guess rather than saying he raised it naturally through combat, he used points to raise the level artificially, it was a little confusing so I thought I’d explain)As a result, if combined with attribute sword, most of the spirits could be knock down in a single shot. My magic power is still around 1500. Afterwards, it would be perfect if I could take an appraisal camouflage from a spoofed spirit.Actually, it’s easier to annihilate with widespread magic. Then destroy magic stones. I just want to get appraisal camouflage by all means.“Jean! I can’t find a camouflage spirit?” (Teacher)“Mm, I have not.” (Jean)“Are you sure?” (Teacher)“I don’t understand?” (Jean)(TL: okay, I have no idea on this next like [いると信じて戦うんだ]) “Believe that’s you’re fighting and fight!” (Teacher)“Ou ou” (Urushi)It also places a considerable burden on Fran. If you think that it’s a mimic spirit and attack it, there’s a chance of it being a spoofed spirit. In order to prevent damage to the magic stones, I only have try to attack the mimic spirits.Then Fran only has to deal with the spirits other than the mimics. The spiritual abnormality coming from the ghosts are not at all an issue due to Jean’s spirit potion. Physical attacks aren’t a big deal. To Fran, they’re only annoying.Then 30 minutes into the fight.“Now is…” (Teacher)Mimic spirits have a lot of magic I feel like. I hurriedly check my skills.Obtained appraisal camouflage.“Damn! It came!” (Teacher)“Yosh! This is good already.” (Jean)“Ou!” (Urushi)“At last” (Fran)“Oooo” (Fly?)After that, the furious fighting kept for half an hour more, soon settled down. Everybody used widespread magic so it was completed because of that.“Nn?” (Fran)“Oh?” (Jean)No, even I can see. I wanted camouflage. Well, since it might be hard work, let’s give up. (TL: This was confusing as well [鑑定偽装が欲しかったんだ。まあ、必要な苦労だったと思って、諦めてくれ])“Congratulations” (Jean)“I tried to set it, but how is it? Can you see with soul eye? I tried to conceal the skill and to make it look lower than the actual status.” (Teacher)“Hmm… Well, it’s a success, it looks like half the status I saw before.” (Jean)“What about skills?” (Fran)“I don’t see any skills at all, however, it’s better to research a little more. It’s doubtful that you don’t have any skills. We should adjust it so that it looks safe.” (Jean)“Oh, I know.” (Teacher)How to disguise it?Well, I’m having fun. Showing the disguised status to those who appraise Fran. “Fighting strength is just 5, garbage.” Let me think, it’s also possible to do, “I have 530,000 battles.” (TL: He’s talking about what others might think when they see with appraisal for the first one. The second one was more like blowing people out of the water with shock, lol)“Kukuku, I’m looking forward to it.” (Teacher)“Teacher, bad voice.” (Fran)“Ouou” (Urushi)

I moved and no longer have internet at home unless I'm hooked up to someone's hot spot. I've also gotten myself a real job! AND, I know you were all wondering, I managed to graduate! Woohoo! It was a close call but I managed to get my grades up and missing credits made up! This chapter is dedicated to you patient readers that were kind to me and each other. Also! Someone donated 5$ to me! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You're like the main reason this even updated, lol.​

Rush

Thanks to Andy, two hours after landed on the floating island.「I saw it, that's the entrance to the interior of the dungeon!」We passed through the wandering forest of zombies and skeletons and reached a place like ruins.There were no noteworthy battles in the forest. The enemies are only lower demon animals,not smart enough to erase any indication of their presence. There are no elements other than a large number that are likely to be a threat. Well, if there’s something of note, it would be the absorption of magic stones and Urushi.There seemed to be traces of a staircase that descended into the basement in the center of a group of ruins.

「It's here, the last time I was exhausted before I got here, but this time I still have plenty of time!」『What should I look out for? There’s plenty of dangerous traps, aren’t there? Last night I heard about a secret plan.』「Leave the leading to me, you guys should concentrate on battle.」「all right」(Fran)「On on!」(Urushi)「Wait a moment, please.」(Jean)Jean takes out the summon ball again and begins to cast.

「---- High undead summoning!」

What was summoned was a deadly monster. It looks a little like a zombie? A mummy with good skin? It had such a feeling. Looking at it from a distance, it may seem like a slightly thin person with brown skin. It also wore clothes knitted with warp yarns.

「Thy name is Sercan!」(Jean)「Va」(Sercan)//TL: This will be cleaned up by the Editor and the right words will be put in place when he sees it. I'm too lazy, if you care all that much, check out previous chapters skill sheets and you'll find the correct terms. Where's that shrug emoji when you need it?Tribal Name: Custom · Revenant: Dead Spirit: Demon Lv 14Name: SercanHP: 69 MP: 165 Power: 33 Strength: 23 Agility: 66 Intelligence: 109 Magical power: 25 Devices: 93Skills:Play: LvMax, momentary playback: Lv 4, trap cancellation: Lv 5, trap detection: Lv 4, playback enhancement(good luck with that)「Kuku, this is a specially made servant whom I made improvements on with custom undead techniques for this day!」

It is a devil devoted exclusively to leadership. It seems to be at the expense of combat power, but playing power is not hampered. Looking for traps and dismantling them, it becomes a wall of flesh that takes on the trap with himself if you don’t do it. Well, convenient and incompetent.「Fahahaha ... I will go, Sercan, lead us!」「Va!」

However, Sercan was tremendously useful. Most traps canceled out, or it starts and disables them.It seems that Jean has supplemented the magic power necessary for regeneration, so there is no worry of falling down or death.

「Va!」

Gashakon! (TL: Sound effect)

Oh, it was skewered to the spear that came down from the ceiling! I could not cancel it, nor catch it on purpose and invalidated it. However, Sercan plays it’s role immediately and walks as if nothing had happened.I did not do a good job.In addition, Jean only said once, but it already grasped its internal structure (TL: I don’t know who’s grasping internal structures but someone is). We almost never stopped and we had been searching steadily.

The zombies that occasionally appear are destroyed before attacking fran with my attack.

『Good.』「Well, here it is not」(Jean)『What do you mean? 』「The last time, supplies have run out in the hall ahead of us and we’ve had to turn back, so I don’t know what's in there.」(Jean)「Is there something in the hall?」(Fran)「There’s a monster room, in which you will see an intermediate demon beast」Apparently there seems to be a stairway to get down to the basement in a place beyond that hall. The speed of advance will fall considerably. There’s probably a new gimmick.First of all is a hall.『Well, it’s all about the preemptive magic strike.』「Hmm」「Oh!」And annihilation begins (TL: lol, I’m totes using that line somewhere). About 30 of the dead spirits collapsed in the first magic. Still, there are still more than 50 bodies left. But that wasn’t all. From the magic room (circle?), the evil spirits gushed out one after another.

Inside is mixed with intermediate demons such as zombie soldiers equipped with weapons and armor, skeleton warriors, and magical beasts.『let's go!』「Hmm!」「Guru!」Well, it's not our worst enemy. Rather, a monster room without traps, it’s easy for frans to fight. Flame magic works well also.In only 20 minutes all the spirits were put back into the corpses. 「well done!」(Jean)『If you have this degree of opponent』「Oh, novice」(???)「Nom Nom」(Urushi)

Urushi is as usual. Why doesn’t eating zombie meat break your belly? Or is it rather tasty? No, it seems that everything goes well with rot, it's unexpected ... ...? Well, I hope it’s delicious.

「Do you have any injuries?」「I’m okay」Then Jean purifies the room and we decide to take a rest for about an hour. In the meantime I will make a meal but I take out the curry at the request of Fran.「Oh, supreme」(Fran)『You never get tired of it.』Every time let her eat it, she praises me every time. It is not a lie that if I had a tail it would be standing tall.

Jean also had had some curry, and he seems to like it quite a bit. I’ve changed it twice. 「Mu」

Don’t look at me like that Fran! I still have plenty! The children become very aggressive when it comes to food.

Jean gave Urushi the femur of a Skeleton Lizard. He was gnawing on the bone, As Urushi also experienced a blessing.Because I am have time and am taking a break, I decided to tell Jean about the undead spells. I thought of Amanda at the time, but who better to ask than the lord of the undead himself? I , but I would definitely know who heard the advanced party more than examine himself.「Kahahaha ... it is difficult to raise knowledge, but you have a good idea! It was good to hear!」

Jean is a researcher and I thought that if I could hear it would teach me .... Rather, he was a man of a system he wanted to speak, to talk about things not even heard. As a result, you got to know a lot about the evil spirit.

I was particularly surprised about the concept of the soul. I thought that the undead magic was manipulating the soul of the dead or manipulating it with the soul possessed by the corpse, but that was not the case.

It seems that the power may cause part of the soul that should originally go to the nether world to stay in this world. And the fragments of the soul in which imperfections and power are put together are combined with the magic stone, transforming it into a powerful evil spirit.

So it was generally recommended that a necromancer cast a ghost spirit. Because they can be cleansed by serving a Necromancer and can ascend. For grudge who wanders while suffering with gratitude, it can be called salvation. Besides, if you serve as one body, you will also have 1 Vengeous Spirit that you dislike people. Among them are those who are going through countries to purify the evil spirits and ascend.「Well, I'm not that kind of fond of getting up to it, instead of ascending, I will lend you my power, a way of saying “Give and Take”. Even if I make things disposable, I'm grateful, so laughter will not stop, Yo!」『I'm telling you, but you used Ascension for Andy, did not you?』The technique of Ascension which Jean used for Andy was a technique to clear up the grudge of the dead spirit and ascend the fragments of the soul. It was a famous magic typical of nether witchcraft, which was also mentioned in the information examined in the library.

Although it is slight, it is a technique that interferes with the soul, so consumption is severe, depending on the strength of purification grudge it is even to reduce the life expectancy of the caster. Indeed, Jean did not become a fighting force for a while after it landed. Andy would have disappeared if it left as it was, and one should not use Ascension by force.

「Well, it's about that extent that we can do it, for a short while, for Andy who served with loyalty, he is for the hands at least, are not you complaining?」(Jean)「No, not for such a good guy」(Fran)『No complaints』「on!」(Urushi)「Is that so, right?」(Jean)Something, it's a breezy atmosphere. However, Jean seems embarrassed that she made such an atmosphere. My ears are red. And, in order to change the topic, I just started to talk about the future by further raising the voice of the crowd. Well, it’s okay though.

「Fufa, Fuha! Well, next will be the second tier!」(Jean)『Is there any information?』「No, not at all!」(Jean)Why do they look great?「But please be calm. There are measures!」(Jean)「What?」(Fran)「This is it!」(Jean)​What Jean took out is a familiar summons ball.

『What's in it?』「If you see it you will understand! So fufufu, you won’t forget it!」
